Benefits & salary

The successful candidates will receive an attractive salary in accordance with the MSCA regulations for early stage researchers. The exact salary will be confirmed upon appointment and is dependent on the country correction factor (to allow for the difference in cost of living in different EU Member States). The salary includes a living allowance, a mobility allowance and a family allowance (if married). The guaranteed PhD funding is for 36 months (i.e. EC funding, additional funding is possible, depending on local supervisor).

For instance, for the ESR in France the annual grant will be : 41 425,20€ + 7,200€ (for mobility allowance) + €6,000 (for family allowance, if eligible); this is before any applicable tax and/or deductions for the employer and the ESR.

In addition to their individual scientific projects, all fellows will benefit from further continuing education, which includes internships and secondments in this high level network, a variety of training modules and courses as well as active participation in workshops and conferences.
